self portrait

First thing that struck me is that it looks like your lens was normal or maybe a bit wide. I think a telephoto lens would have made less distortions in the facial features, since you'd have to be farther away from the subject. I thought the lighting was a bit flat, which needs to fixed during the shoot, not with photoshop. I would have like to have seen one side of the face darker. The subject is great, crop is great, nice use of the ol' head tilt. It's a very coy picture.

Yeah you are right, its my camera that sucks. I'm getting better stuff in a week with my tax return. I was wrong in assuming that since I was by the window the light would be perfect. Thanks for your compliments and thank everyone for all the edits they have been really helpful with ideas

Figured I'd give it a go.. I like it, but maybe a bit too much saturation.
